    I think he means exactly that.. the force shield. Its an off hand item like AC30 with 1-10ED to target.

    Maybe it needs charges or something, it has never worked for me either. That said I still use it because of the high ac on it. Take what you can get, right?

    Now that I think about it, I've never seen it work either, and I've played through 4 times now as a mage and made extensive use of them. I wonder... maybe you can't be using a melee weapon?

    I've never seen it work as well. At least, not when I've been struck.

    I noticed it had a uses stat... maybe it has to be used to get the damage shield to kick in. I have no idea since I play tech characters and can't use it anyway... Followers don't seem to know how to use items.

    As if followers actually know how to do _anything_!!!
